The biggest asset that India has is the human resources and the people to engage in solutions. But one of the biggest challenges is delivering healthcare to the same population. The real challenges are the fragmentation of different care providers, trying to collaborate and provide stream line care to the people that can’t afford it.

There is also a vast disparity between the haves and the have not’s. If we can deliver care more efficiently to the people at the base of the pyramid, we will be more effective with healthcare delivery globally.

When people come to solve healthcare issues in the CAMTech platform they actually bring the issue of affordability. This impacts the nature of the designs of innovations, the solutions and the entire world, whether you are in the United States, Africa or in India you have to think about affordability. Innovation for extreme affordability is one of the opportunities that India really offers.

2. How has been CAMTech's journey in India so far?

We started in India a little over a year ago in the reproductive maternal child health space. One thing that always came into the events that we were holding was people bringing in diabetes specific challenges. Working on diabetes is something that really came from the populations that we are trying to serve.

India unfortunately has been the capital of diabetes and worldwide there is urgency behind solving some of the challenges in diabetes. Every 7 seconds somebody dies of diabetes, 1 in 12 have diabetes worldwide and 1 in 6 people have diabetes in Hyderabad. This is why the urgency of creating a solution is really palpable.
